This small exhibit includes audio/video recordings from the Daily Show cast as well as Trump Survivors. Even a set with a golden toilet and props to pose with. (i had to grab a tie, but it wasn’t long enough for me). We were given name tags upon our arrival complete with nickname (mine was “Buzzkill be3n”). you can see the whole exhibit in under an hour. well worth the visit!

I tried to participate in Ken Calvert’s telephone town hall tonight, even recorded some of it. Unfortunately, they never took my question or even my promised recorded voicemail.

Many of my comments were addressed by others and most were deflected by Representative Calvert. I am certainly no expert on this stuff, but here are the points i would have brought up.

CRA bill – Representative Calvert seems to have missed the distinction between internet service providers that offer services like Google, Facebook, or Snapchat and telecommunications providers that provide the very lines on witch those services depend. This is a critical distinction. Unlike service providers, it is not so easy to just find a telecommunications provider who’s policy you agree with. In most of America, they are practically monopolies.

Obamacare Vs Trumpcare – Preexisting conditions? Failing program? It is certainly not perfect (don’t get me started), but my family would be destitute if it weren’t for the Affordable Care Act. The current offering as a replacement looks terrible and doesn’t include amendments for preexisting conditions. What will next year bring?

This was even more of a meandering discussion then last time. We started with the election hacking scandal and branched out to cover all manner of terrifying technology. Episode 123 airs on Christmas evening 8pm PST. Downloads available sometime afterhere or podcast. Here is a link:

Hart and I have worked together for some time. He is a mogul of all things horrific. Now he takes on the horror of the modern day with a political/news podcast. He is also struggling under the enormous weight of the medical care for his wife. I encourage anyone with extra funds this holiday season to contribute here.
